NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

As of March 31, 2026, the Company formally approved a plan to dispose of this segment and thus this segment is being presented as discontinued operations (see Note 3. Discontinued Operations). |
| ● | Security Systems – Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd., a Canadian registered corporation, with locations in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Brigadier was sold to a related party on July 1, 2025 (see Note 7. Sale of Brigadier). |
While the Company operates in several business segments, its primary business focus is the financial services industry, including ETF management, and its intention is to continue developing these and similar business segments prospectively.
The Company manages the operations of its subsidiaries and their related businesses on a decentralized basis. There are generally no centralized or integrated operational functions such as marketing, sales, or other synergistic services and there is little involvement by our executive management in the day-to-day business affairs of the Company’s subsidiaries apart from oversight. Our executive management team is primarily responsible for vision and strategy of the Company while effectively implementing capital allocation decisions, investment activities, leadership talent selection, development, performance and retention of the management executives to head each of the operating subsidiaries. The Company’s executive management is also responsible for organizational accountability, corporate governance practices, monitoring regulatory affairs, including those of our operating businesses and involvement in governance-related issues of its subsidiaries as needed.
On September 25, 2026, The Marygold Companies, Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $2.00 per share. Outstanding stock options will be converted into the right to receive cash equal to the product of the number of option shares and the excess of the $2.00 per share purchase price over the exercise price per share. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2027 or earlier, upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of Marygold stockholders, regulatory approvals and certain change-of-control approvals. The Company’s Board has voted unanimously to approve the transaction. Certain stockholders of the Company, including Nicholas Gerber, who collectively beneficially own approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding shares, have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the transaction subject to customary exceptions. In certain circumstances, the Company would be required to pay the acquiring company a termination fee of $2.6 million. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a privately held company and its common stock will no longer be listed on the NYSE American LLC.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements. The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended June 30, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements”, include the accounts of The Marygold Companies and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our subsidiary USCF Investments relies on the revenues generated from the investment management fees from the funds it manages. The concentration of fund management revenue and related receivables were (dollars in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company assessed recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that their adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 31, 2026, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of its Food Products segment which is a distinct reporting segment and includes all operations conducted in New Zealand. The Food Products segment consists of two legal entities: Gourmet Foods, Ltd. which is a bakery business and Printstock Products Limited which is a printing business for the food industry. The Company expects to dispose of these two entities either collectively or separately through a sale or sales to a third party. The decision to divest the Food Products segment was driven by management’s strategic initiative to focus on its Fund Management and Financial Services related businesses. The disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and financial results, including the exit from New Zealand and the Food Products segment. The Company is actively marketing the Food Products segment and expects the transaction to be completed within twelve months of the classification date. The Company has engaged a business broker to assist with the sale of the Food Products segment. Upon completion of a transaction, the broker is entitled to a success fee of up to 6% of the transaction value. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in divesting this business upon terms acceptable to the Company or as to the timing or terms of the final transaction or series of transactions.
In September 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Printstock Products Limited (“Printstock”) business unit to TAG Investments Limited, a New Zealand-based private investment firm, in a cash transaction valued at a minimum of NZ$2,450,000 with final cash proceeds to be determined at closing. The proposed transaction is structured as an asset sale. Based in Napier, New Zealand, Printstock is a digital printer of custom food packaging products for brands predominantly distributed in New Zealand. The proposed transaction is expected to be completed on or about November 20, 2026. It is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, due diligence, assignment of the lease and closing inventory valuations.

| Net cash used in operating activities | $(93) | $(166) |
NOTE 4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This calculation includes the weighted average number of shares of Series B, Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) outstanding as they are deemed to be substantially similar to the common shares and shareholders are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights and each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 20 shares of the Company’s common stock. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company included in its diluted shares 4,020 restricted stock award shares outstanding as of September 30, 2026 as the Company reported net income during that period. Since the Company generated a net loss in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same. The Company excluded the following shares from the diluted net loss per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
| Quarters Ended September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Warrants outstanding | 82,500 | 82,500 |
| Stock options outstanding | 210,000 | 343,667 |
| Restricted Stock Awards outstanding | - | 101,803 |
| Total common stock equivalents excluded | 292,500 | 527,970 |
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible Series B Preferred Stock.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
| Quarter Ended · Quarter Ended | ||||||

USCF Investments, from time to time, provides initial seed capital in connection with the organization of exchange traded products (ETPs) or exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are managed by USCF LLC or USCF Advisers. USCF Investments classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 7. SALE OF BRIGADIER
On June 17, 2025, the independent members of the board of directors of the Company were presented with a proposed transaction for the sale of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd., a Canadian registered corporation (“Brigadier”). The independent members of the board of directors reviewed an independent valuation of the fair market value of Brigadier and based upon such valuation and their review of the terms of the proposed transaction, approved the transaction.
On June 19, 2025, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement*(“Agreement”)* with SKCAL LLC, an Arizona limited liability company*(“SKCAL”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to SKCAL all of the shares of stock (“Shares”) that it owns in its wholly owned subsidiary, Brigadier. Scott Schoenberger, a director and a 10.9% shareholder of the Company, is the sole member of SKCAL. The closing(“Closing”)*of the sale of Shares took place on July 1, 2025 (“Closing Date”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the purchase price for the Shares acquired by SKCAL at Closing was $2.2 million subject to certain adjustments thereto. An initial payment of $0.2 million was paid within a few days of the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the parties. An additional $1.0 million was paid near the Closing Date, of which $0.5 million was received as of June 30, 2025. A final payment of $1.0 million was payable on September 1, 2025, subject to adjustment upward or downward thereto in the event of a difference between the Closing Date schedule of Brigadier’s current assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025,(“Target Balance Sheet”), and the schedule of Brigadier’s audited current assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, (“Final Balance Sheet”), including adjustments in the event accounts receivable become uncollectable, cash balances increase or decrease, and/or any liabilities arise prior to Closing but which were not set forth on such Target Balance Sheet. After a comparison of the Final Balance Sheet and the Target Balance Sheet, it was determined and agreed that an upwards adjustment of $0.1 million be added to the purchase price resulting in the final payment amount being $1.1 million.
The audit committee of the Company continued to have oversight of the transaction through the Closing Date of July 1, 2025, and the final payment adjustment procedures concluding on September 1, 2025. The Company received total proceeds of $2.3 million for the sale and had a cost basis in Brigadier of $1.8 million and thus recorded a gain on the sale of Brigadier of $0.5 million through September 30, 2025, and was subsequently increased to $0.6 million due to an adjustment to a related deferred tax liability.
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
In connection with the Company’s underwritten public offering in fiscal 2022, the Company issued the underwriter’s warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 82,500 shares of Common Stock as compensation for their services related to this issuance.

| Exercisable at September 30, 2026 | 144,164 | $1.34 | ||||
No options or restricted stock awards were granted during the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
As of September 30, 2026, there was less than $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards (RSAs) that will be recognized over a remaining period of 1.8 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2026 was 7.2 years. The total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was less than $0.1 million for both periods.
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
For each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s combined lease costs were $0.1 million. The lease costs were recorded under general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.
Future minimum lease payments are (in thousands):
| Year Ended June 30, | Operating Leases |
|---|---|
| Remainder of fiscal 2027 | $197 |
| 2028 | 144 |
| Total minimum lease payments | $341 |
The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases was 1.2 years as of September 30, 2026 and a weighted-average discount rate of 6.0% was used to determine the total operating lease liabilities.
Other Agreements and Commitments
In connection with the build out of its Fintech apps in the US and UK which have both been paused, Marygold US and Marygold UK entered into agreements with various service providers, some of which required long-term contracts. As of September 30, 2026, Marygold US and Marygold UK have recorded combined payment commitments totaling $0.8 million with some former primary service vendors not including an additional $0.3 million in unused service commitments. It is uncertain what amount of this contractual commitment may be reduced by the vendors as services are no longer required.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Except as described below, there are no material pending legal proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries. USCF LLC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation
On June 19, 2020, USCF LLC, USO, John P. Love, and Stuart P. Crumbaugh, were named as defendants in a putative class action filed by purported shareholder Robert Lucas (the “Lucas Class Action”). The Court thereafter consolidated the Lucas Class Action with two related putative class actions filed on July 31, 2020 and August 13, 2020, and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the captionIn re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04740.
On November 30, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Lucas Class Complaint”). The Amended Lucas Class Complaint asserts claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Securities Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint challenges statements in registration statements that became effective on February 25, 2020 and March 23, 2020 as well as subsequent public statements through April 2020 concerning certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint purports to have been brought by an investor in USO on behalf of a class of similarly-situated shareholders who purchased USO securities between February 25, 2020 and April 28, 2020 and pursuant to the challenged registration statements. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint seeks to certify a class and to award the class compensatory damages at an amount to be determined at trial as well as costs and attorney’s fees. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint named as defendants USCF LLC, USO, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes III, as well as the marketing agent, ALPS Distributors, Inc., and the Authorized Participants: ABN Amro, BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Company, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Company Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Virtu Financial BD LLC.
The lead plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its claims against BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Company, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC.
On September 29, 2025, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice and granted plaintiff leave to file a motion to amend its complaint. On November 26, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a proposed second consolidated amended complaint, which defendants have opposed. The motion remains pending before the Court.
USCF LLC, USO, and the individual defendants inIn re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation intend to vigorously contest such claims and have moved for their dismissal.
Mehan Action
On August 10, 2020, purported shareholder Darshan Mehan filed a derivative action on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes, III (the “Mehan Action”). The action is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda as Case No. RG20070732.
The Mehan Action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to USO and failed to act in good faith in connection with a March 19, 2020 registration statement and offering and disclosures regarding certain extraordinary market conditions that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney’s fees, and costs. All proceedings in the Mehan Action are stayed pending final disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss inIn re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.
USCF LLC, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest such claims.

On August 27, 2020, purported shareholders Michael Cantrell and AML Pharm. Inc. DBA Golden International filed two separate derivative actions on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Andrew F Ngim, Nicholas D. Gerber, Robert L. Nguyen, Gordon L. Ellis, Malcolm R. Fobes, III, and Peter M. Robinson in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York at Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 (the “Cantrell Action”) and Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06981 (the “AML Action”), respectively.
The complaints in the Cantrell and AML Actions are nearly identical. They each allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and common law claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. These allegations stem from USO’s disclosures and defendants’ alleged actions in light of the extraordinary market conditions in 2020 that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaints seek, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney’s fees, and costs. The plaintiffs in the Cantrell and AML Actions have marked their actions as related to the Lucas Class Action.
The Court consolidated the Cantrell and AML Actions under the captionIn re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 and appointed co-lead counsel. All proceedings inIn re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigationare stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss inIn re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.
USCF LLC, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest the claims inIn re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation.
No accrual or reserve has been made with respect to the above legal matters for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, or the year ended June 30, 2026. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of possible losses resulting from these matters. Although we are vigorously contesting the litigation claims discussed above, in the near term it is reasonably possible that we may be required to establish a reserve or an accrual in the future depending upon the outcome of any of the foregoing litigation matters. An adverse outcome in any of these matters could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
